Dallas

I went on a trip to Dallas for work.  Most of the 4 days were spent in the hotel convention center talking about our websites.  But I did get a chance to head out to see a little bit of Dallas one night.  

JFK Memorial

 

I also got to be part of doing a morning workout for our distributors with some resistance bands we were selling.  Talk about crazy - I think I'll stick to running and crossfit for now. 

Convention

My life this week was spent in Salt Lake doing hosting for our global convention.  It was a huge convention with so many people - mostly from Asia.  We had a blast and by the end I was so tired I thought I might pass out. 

Todd's Birthday Dinner

The guys in Jackson took Todd out for a birthday dinner.  A real southern dinner.  He said it was DELICIOUS and had tons of flavor.  I think it looks kinda gross.  

 

On Film

Talk about awkward.  I had to be filmed for a work video about a new back office tool we are launching soon.  I hate my hearing my voice recorded and felt so silly getting filmed.  But it ended up great and I'm sure my team will find some good use of all the bloopers I made.

Work Trip

I had to take a quick 2 day trip to Vegas for a meeting.  And we had some free time between all-day meetings to hit a show on the strip too.

Todd decided to take Sophie up to Salt Lake to Chipotle 

And to Scheels for a ferris wheel ride.

Disney's Magic Kingdom

Once the work was done Saturday we had the night to go play at Disneyworld.  It was so much fun.  Todd went the whole day and then me and some friends from work met him at 4:00. Disney is totally different when you don't have kids with you.  We scheduled our time and hit the park.  We managed to go on 7 rides and watch the parade.  It was perfect.

In the Tiki Room

I sent this picture to Traci - because she hates the turkey legs at Disney. I should have bought her the shirt!!   

It wouldn't be a day at an amusement park without funnel cake

Todd was so excited to see the Main Street Electric Parade - he hadn't seen it since he was a kid.  

Orlando

Off I go again - to Orlando for kick-off meetings.  I started and finished a new book (The Silent Governess).

Did some outside running with Mickey - this short trail nearly killed me off when I had to run 7 miles.  I looped and looped and looped some more.  I even added in some extra miles by running through the parking lot.

 

The view from my room

 We took a midnight trip to Steak-n-Shake for Celina's birthday.

 This time presenting on stage was a lot easier and Todd was there to watch.  When I walked out on stage I heard a whistle and couldn't believe he would do that - then after he told me it wasn't him.  Ha ha. 

Todd met me for the weekend instead of flying home so we got to spend our date night at Downtown Disney.  Eating delicious sundaes from Girhadelli's. 

 

I did my first Zumba class - we had to represent in our Nu Skin workout gear.  I'm not sure my body was made to shake like that.

With some of the marketing girls in our sweet Nu Skin gear.

On Stage

I was so glad to have this over with.

Getting ready for kick-offs

This year for kick-off meetings I had to present on a new mobile app we are creating.  I was a little stressed about presenting but even more stressed about my outfit. So I went online and bought 2 dresses and 2 pair of shoes then ended up shipping them to Uncle Milo and Aunt Gale's house in California on accident.  Nothing like giving myself a heart attack 2 days before I left.  So I packed up the kids and Timmy and Megan went shopping with me.  Luckily, after trying on about 50 different outfits I found the perfect one.

 

Sophie and I went and got our nails done

Trying to figure out my shoes

Texting Timmy asking which shoes I should wear.

Fort Lauderdale

I had to take a whirlwind trip for work.  I flew to Ft. Lauderdale  for a 1 day meeting then flew home the next day.  It was 2 days of travel and 1 day of meetings.  At least it was warm while I was there and I was able to get in a couple of runs on the beach and eat breakfast sitting on my outside patio. 

Just another day at the office

 Sophie was very excited to spend the day with me at work.  We both got dressed up as batmom and batgirl and headed into work.  She loved all the attention and people giving her candy.  She loved hanging out with me all day and going to lunch with me and my co-workers.  And she really loved when we got $50 for being dressed up at work.  What a fun day!
